    Turns out I am the culprit

    I was opening This PC on the desktop instead of File Explorer, so naturally it would open to This PC no matter what changes I made. Just tried it with a real, yell, File Explorer icon and it works perfectly.

    My apologies Shawn. I've gotten so used to using them interchangeably I never thought about it.
    LOL, oops.
